"I'm Kuniska, and I'm the only woman in the whole of Greece who has won this crown." - Inscription of the Spartan princess Kunisca's racing team after winning the Olympia race

"Here it is, my dear friend!" In front of the main gate of Urver's camp, behind him stood his adopted son, Li Bida, wearing the robes of General Perudanitem in blue cloth, holding a gold-plated baton, smiling and jumping off his horse and embracing Galius.

"Because I have to coordinate the ideas of some soldiers and generals, I am a little late." Galius explained this, and then he saw that the outskirts of the commander's camp were all tall Celtic knights, armed with long swords, who had voluntarily formed a new guard to defend Lybida.

Inside the tent, almost all the dignitaries of the state magistrates, or tribal kings and chiefs, within three hundred Roman miles around, were all gathered together, and the sound of spurs clanged everywhere.

Soon there was a commotion, saying, "The envoy of Dehemoth has arrived." ”

Li Bida folded his general's robe and sat down in the middle, and in the midst of the full of angry scolding, the envoy of Dehemoth, the grass-headed governor of southern Gaul, walked in tremblingly and saluted Li Bida.

"Officer Token, make it clear what your boss thinks." Li Bida asked loudly, and then many of the chiefs began to draw their swords and shout. The token officer hurriedly said what he meant, "Dehemos is willing to join forces with you to take back the city of Rome." He is willing to become a coalition with you. ”

Li Bida laughed. "Poor Dehemoth can only protect himself." Does he still want to counterattack Rome? ”

The token officer laughed helplessly, and said, But Your Excellency has also been declared a public enemy, isn't it now the opportunity to fight for His Excellency Dehemoth? With your Excellency's legions, and the four legions of Dehemos, there was no problem at all in suppressing Rome.

As a result, Li Bida slipped in front of the token official, and then said a word softly in front of everyone. "Let me tell you a secret, and of course you can tell it to Dehemoth."

"Yes, yes."

"Now that the rules of the game have changed in this generation, becoming the ruler of Rome may not need to be busy in the city, but more depending on how many legions the person has outside the city." After Li Bida said this, he listened to the official in a foggy manner, but he was in a cold sweat, and it seemed that the mystery that had shrouded the head of the republic for decades finally tore off its veil shamelessly.

So in the midst of ridicule. Dehemoth's token officer wolf bèi leaves.

Then, several of the chief Aquidani shouted. The most powerful king of the region, Vicintoli, and your adopted son-in-law, is still in the city of Galve, and has not come to your camp, "If the cavalry commander needs it, we can go and attack the strongest city of Gaul, and the Aquitaines can send three thousand miners skilled in the tunnels to dig up the city of Gorvi and assist you in disposing of this young man." ”

"There are twelve Roman lieutenants around Gorvi City, and my adopted son-in-law has 8,000 cavalry, and his brothers and nephews intermarry with the twelve surrounding states, so his body will naturally be heavier, and it is also very difficult to climb over it from Nebo City by a huge Fanabon mountain range. May I give him some time, and I will prepare a market day, and I will pick up my cloak with a flagpole and plant it in front of my tent - if Vicintoli is not yet standing under the flagpole after a market day, I will go over the mountains to find him. After Li Bida finished speaking, he took off his cloak, and Paruma hurriedly took it, and then ran out with a limp and did so.

Then, Li Bida shouted, little pigeon, bring the map.

Paruma ran in again and brought the map to his father, and after reading it, Li Bida whispered, "You illiterate, take it backwards." ”

Then the little pigeon hurriedly brought the map board over, and Li Bida looked at it for a while, and then with a dagger, he squeaked the board from the middle, "My lords, war broke out on this day—the day the Senate announced the amnesty of the young Pompey brothers, Rabinus and Brutus, and Cassillo. ”

"Let's turn this day upside down!" All the Gallic chieftains present shouted, "All Gallic warriors, avenge Lord Caesar." "As if they were for a time to worship Caesar as their dearest and dearest, and not to slaughter and conquer their tribes as foreign enemies, these are the Gauls, frivolous and impatient, who can be moved, or angry, or shed blood for the slightest cause.

Then he said that when the order of the republic was stable, he would give the title of his friend to all the states present today, and then slaughter all those who were not present, and distribute all their population and land, and then build a bridge over the Renus River, every hundred romans, to help the tribal states of Gaul to cross over, so that they could freely conquer the Germanic tribes there, and wash away the shame of a hundred years ago.

Anyway, they were talking nonsense, and the Gallic chieftains were so excited that they drew their swords and slashed and screamed on the pillars of the tent.

"So my plan is - immediately His Excellency General Itassos will hold the border between Nepo and the province of Shannan, and watch over Dehemoth, and then I will take the rest of my men and horses to my base of Sardinia, yes, it is really our decisive battle, as long as this gateway is firmly guarded, and with the infantry and fleet, the republic and all the provinces in the west will be split in two, and most of the kingdoms in the east will be thrown to me. Then the whole of Italy and this narrow island would be caught in the middle—and then we would intercept the remnants of Pompey in Laconia, on Sardinia, and of course others would make a big fuss about the Apennines, in short, separating the Senate from the troops he could trust. After Li Bida finished speaking, he threw the dagger away, "This is the battlefield I chose, the fulcrum that turns the whole world around!" As long as the situation is settled,"

"That is, to fight Pompey's army." This plan aroused the pride of the chiefs, who had long heard that Pompey's people were first-class elites, although they had been completely annihilated before, but just thinking about such a setting was still very emotional.

"What does it mean for the situation to be stable, can you explain it more concretely?" Galius asked cautiously.

"Since it is to avenge Caesar, someone must be punished, and there may be capital punishment and beheading orders." Li Bida replied, and then he said to Gallius in great distress, "You also know that sometimes if you don't kill people, you can't account for the soldiers and the people, and sometimes you can't give an account for the financiers and heroes if you don't confiscate the property."

On the sixth day, Vicintoli rode to the banks of the Never, with 3,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantrymen behind him, and he wore dazzling golden armor, and stood honestly under the flagpole of General Rybida's robe for a while, then dismounted, and kissed the ring of King Numa on the finger of Rybida, who was sitting opposite, "Forgive my father-in-law, it took me some time to gather up and prepare the military horses.
